Description

The TeleTouch 300 AF represents the "dual focal length" craze of the late 80s, an evolutionary step between fixed-lens compacts and full-zoom point-and-shoots. Rather than a zoom, it features a motorized mechanism that physically switches between a wide-angle 35mm f/3.8 and a "portrait" 55mm f/5.4. It was marketed for its advanced "Smart Flash" system and a dedicated "Macro" mode that allowed for relatively close-up shots at the 55mm setting. This specific unit shows the typical aesthetics of the era—polycarbonate construction with a sliding lens cover—and includes a period-correct red-and-black woven strap. It even has a roll of Fujicolor Superia 200 still loaded (visible through the film window).
